@Kenzie_Tukkiba That post, taken out of context, is completely, off the rails, batshit insane.

@HMBohemond They’re all a bunch of cunts, not worth the time of day.

So I looked into this "Clavicular" guy and the whole "looksmaxxing" scene. He and others like him use surgery to present as "more masculine" and take large amounts of steroids and hormones to increase their masculinity. Apparently Clavicular's dick doesn't work anymore as a result, and he's probably not the only example. There are some things I can say, but I won't.

@BaronDestructo D’Argo all the way

@SuperSisi I feel like recreating this gif every time my boss says my delivery is going to be late

@NotMikeHarlow He won’t have his hammer in prison, he’ll just have to get dudes to smash it for him.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that giving millions of dollars and round the clock attention to a meth head who smashes his face with a hammer is a story that’s not going to end well. 🤔

Work needs to get their shit together; how am I supposed to get that summer body when I only get to the gym on Saturday and Sunday?

@DocStrangelove2 He’s a self-avowed meth user, this level of stupidity is unsurprising

Filming themselves committing a felony was definitely a choice.

@AndrewZ24597481 Seriously, where’s my Jurgen mini?

All the new Guard minis and we still don’t have an official mini for the GREATEST HERO OF THE IMPERIUM, yet

Went down the rabbit hole on this. A firefly spends up to two years underground as a larva, hunting slugs in the dirt. Then it crawls out, grows wings, and gets maybe three weeks as the glowing thing you remember from childhood. Three weeks to find a mate and reproduce. Then it's dead. So when the tweet says "some scientist" warned we're the last generation to see them, that's real. A Belgian firefly researcher named Raphaël De Cock said it, and the clip blew up on TikTok. But I dug into the actual science, and the picture is weirder than the headline. We know of about 2,200 firefly species worldwide. Scientists have studied fewer than 150 of them. That's less than 7%. Of the ones they looked at, about 14% are at risk of extinction. And here's the part that got me: we know so little about more than half the species we've found that scientists can't even tell if they're dying off. If those mystery species are disappearing at the same rate, 1 in 3 North American fireflies could be in trouble. We might be losing species nobody's even properly named yet. A major 2024 study by Penn State, the University of Kentucky, and Bucknell examined 24,000 citizen surveys across the eastern U.S. The number one thing killing fireflies turned out to be weather and climate shifts. Their larvae need wet soil to survive those two years underground. Too dry, they die. Too flooded, they drown. The second biggest killer: artificial light. Night skies are getting about 10% brighter every year. A quarter of Earth's land is now lit up at night. And fireflies talk to each other with light. Their whole mating system runs on flashing patterns in the dark. Flood that with streetlights and porch lights, and the signal disappears. This isn't abstract. In Hong Kong, one firefly species lived along 1.8 kilometers of a single hiking trail. Street lamps went up in 2018 and 2019. The population is gone. Critically Endangered now. In Delaware, the Bethany Beach firefly exists in a few tiny salt marshes, and coastal construction is eating them up. But your common backyard lightning bug, the one called Photinus pyralis, is fine. Ben Pfeiffer, who runs Firefly Conservation and Research, said it straight: "We won't be the last generation to see fireflies." What's actually vanishing is the variety. The weird ones. The specialists. They get replaced by the one tough generalist that can survive anywhere. One last thing that stuck with me. A firefly turns chemical energy into light at about 41% efficiency, with almost zero heat lost. Our best LEDs just recently hit about 40%. We spent decades of engineering to match what a beetle worked out 100 million years ago. And we're blinding them with the lights we built to copy them.

@GaryD20Games Oh my, yes

Can players actually detail a campaign? 🤔

@Ganglosaxonnne They need to see if there’s any interest in another Star Fox game

...WHY?

@Bodhi_Tweets Darth Dracula the White was not to be trifled with

Christopher Lee was whatever you projected onto Chuck Norris…

@EliasToufexis A proper animated series would be amazing, I’d love to see MechWarrior 3 retold like that

Man, I wrote a whole Battletech movie script when I was 17 years old. It’s was good too. I’ve been pushing to make a new adult animated series but the rights are a giant mess. I’m such a fan I went out of my way to reach out to both the Battletech and Mechwarrior video-games to voice characters. They both said yes.

@ardan_blade Lots of people care, it just feels like the ones that do don’t work at CGL

I have to admit to being disheartened by the number of people who care nothing for the history and realism of Battletech. There is something very near and dear to my heart in the want for a setting that remains true to itself. Maybe it's just me.

@TrioculusSWRP It’s not listed here, but I’m partial to the TIE tank

Which of these Imperial land vehicles is your favorite? (Art from West End Games)

@MarcusCVance The MechPope is not just here to bring you Communion, but also, death to Liao

Why am I just now learning that Battletech has a MechPope with a laser cigar?

@Lutra_Gaming I forgot this existed

Has anyone heard anything about BattleTech Gothic? #battletech I’ve seen a few painted minis floating around (not very often), but I haven’t come across much about factions, lore, or anything like that—just people saying, “Hey, I painted this for my pirate band.”

@TheFemboyForge @Longswordwife Nice and thicc!

@Longswordwife Making a choncky one handed one right now.

Messers of all forms are so underrated and they need to be in more video games and movies

@WolfShieldGuard @iwonderyiwander @FuckKoroks Yeah, it’s a courtesy

@iwonderyiwander @VolcanicusRex @FuckKoroks Its was the thought that mattered.

This is very clearly bullshit clout chasing because in what world would Chuck Norris need a bodyguard
